i have owned (and loved) this car for nearly 11 years, but divorce and employment (lack there of) forces sale. i would love to keep it but i will not be able to do to this car what i would like to do, it was with that realization that i have decided to let her go to someone who will carry on the torch. i have owned and garaged this car until this year and it has never ever broken down or let me down in 11 years of ownership. i have many receipts/invoices and can name every single mechanic that has touched this car under my ownership. this is a good candidate for a show car but also a solid candidate for a daily driver or uber dependable second car.

1970 Morris Mini - totally rebuilt as 1994 Rover Mini 1300efi - 35th anniversary edition replica

clear title in my name

i paid $15,500 in 2002

34,000 original miles

*i feel pretty confident that the car was sold to me as advertised with 17,000 when i purchased the car 2002

i am third owner (was imported from Holland by second owner)

all owners took great care of the car

very solid driver

unique paint job for mini with color changing at hip as opposed to the traditional top

rare full length webasto electric folding top - works well, have noticed its operating quite slow in the extreme cold, otherwise always used. nice because it the larger of the 2 sizes and opens all the way back.

beautiful tan hide seating with contracting blue piping - i have driver seat set up to bucket with but cushion can be firmed up with included metal hooks.

burl walnut dash - only 1 area i would call a scratch

6 CD changer under passenger seat - i hate it and would change the stereo. works well, but would want MP3 wire hook up, etc

everything works, nothing is broken or missing

1,375cc tuned fuel injected power plant

some simple mods made by second owner for performance but they do not affect reliability like adjustable shocks and performance cam.

fast and fun as all get out to drive.

this is the mini that mini guys check out

the mini as an undeniable icon of motoring in the 20th century, they are timeless, elegant yet understated. youthful and fun yet refined.

very reliable, drive it anywhere in the country (with new tires)

this is what i would do on the car but know i will not have the time or money to do so:

- localize and eliminate rust in next 1-2 years. it is not bad, it just needs doing. Rough estimate for rust repair $1,000-1,500.

~drivers rocker panel is about 10% rusted. drivers base of the door post is about 5% rusted. passenger side rocker is about 10% rusted. spare tire wheel well in boot is about 30% rusted and will need replacing. no other known rust issues.

- touch up paint and general buffing and polishing and small dent removal on driver door.

- replace wiper blades soon.

- detail photo shows tear in headliner at one of the sunroof bends. that tear has been the same size as the day i bought it and has never grown despite i open the top almost every single dry driving day.

- car has had recent pre-purchase inspection and has been on lift. i can share photos of underside of car as well and contact information for experienced british car shop that completed the inspection.

- that is it, the car really is in pretty great shape.

- 4 Brand New Hight Quality Tires being mounted this week (march 14 at a cost of $480)

please, if you have specific questions or want detailed photos let me know. i have many and would be happy to take any pictures you instruct. i will also take video to do a live video chat so you can direct the camera over what you want to see.

i am honest and transparent. what you see is what you get, just ask. about $500 worth of extra new parts come with car including all new rubber for the glass and new plastic wheel arch flares.

Next-gen Mini interior ditching familiar center speedo

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

A Reddit user has posted images of the 2015 F56 Mini Cooper, one each of the exterior and interior. As has been the case since the launch of the new Mini in 2001, the overall exterior shape underneath camouflage screams Mini, but insiders are still calling the coming F56 model "the most aggressively different new Mini yet." Inside, though, the two-door that defined premium hatchbacks has, according to its most devoted buyers, gone mainstream.
The giant ring atop the center console is there, but there's no longer a speedometer inside of it. Instead, in an integration that brings to mind words like "shoehorned," Mini designers have placed radio and telephone controls inside the bezel. According to the Mini experts at MotoringFile, the picture above is the base trim and one of four possible treatments - in the upper trims a larger screen for navigation takes up most of the space. The bezel itself is marked with mood lighting that supposedly "swirls around" when you start the car with the red toggle switch.
The speedo rests atop the steering column with a tachometer placed to its left. The BMW wheel pictured is just for the prototype - you can expect a familiar three-spoke Mini wheel when the car is revealed, and latest rumor is that the event will take place at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show.

2015 Mini Cooper Hardtop officially revealed

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

There are occasions in life when something happens in the outside world and I think, "Damn. I wish Dad was here so we could talk about this."
In the past 13 years, that's happened every time Mini unveils a new model. And that's been quite often in the 12 years since the car was reintroduced - it has expanded to include seven different models, which is a testament to how quickly the updated Mini caught on. My Dad, who passed away in 1996, loved the brand. His first car was a Mini, and he'd race it in illegal rallies around the Irish countryside in his 20s, before he emigrated to the US and tried to (mostly) stay on the right side of the law.
Mini released photos and specs for the third-generation "original" hardtop car today. The company had to slap in the term "original" in there to differentiate it from the Convertible, longer-wheelbase Clubman, Countryman crossover, Paceman three-door crossover, Coupe and Roadster. Coming out with that many nameplates in 13 years is unprecedented growth for a company that's essentially brand-new in the US.

Help Mini decide on its next limited-edition Cooper

Mon, 17 Feb 2014

Mini likes to make a big hullabaloo about the number of ways its cars can be configured, which currently stands at 10 million. While that figure is impressive, the BMW-owned brand is always looking for new and unique design variations, a trend that has seen a number of special-edition Minis pop up over the years boasting unique color and trim items.
For the new, third-generation F56 Mini, the British brand is at it again. Only this time, the cars are designed and chosen by Mini's fans in a new contest. Called "The New Originals," Mini teamed its 10 Final Test Test Drive winners with an illustrator to design their perfect Mini, one of which will become the next special-edition model.
The ten cars are currently being voted on by the brand's fans on the Mini USA website, with the winner set to be announced at the 2014 New York Auto Show in April. A total of 56 examples of the winning entry will then be put on sale, making this one of the most limited of Mini's many limited editions. Voting closes on February 19, so hop over to the page and vote for your favorite.
